AWESOME BAKED CHICKEN SCAMPI
I've been playing around with this for a bit of time, and finally came up with this recipe. I've seen chicken scampi recipes that use a cream-based sauce, and/or combine the chicken with veggies (like carrots, etc), and although I'm sure that it's quite tasty... it's not scampi. Scampi is an oil, wine, lemon-based...

SHRIMP (OR CHICKEN) SCAMPI
Steps:
- Tip: To make a low fat version, use only 1/4 cup of oil (or just a few tablespoons). Please note that if you serve this over noodles, the noodles will be a little dry. This can be compensated by adding a sauce to the noodles. For example a thin Alfredo sauce, or a can of cream of chicken soup mixed with a can of milk, a half cup of Parmesan, a dash of Italian seasoning, and salt to taste. Cook garlic and oil in skillet over very low heat until garlic is golden brown. Add shrimp (or chicken) and cook on medium high heat. Half way through cook time, add parsley and vegetables and continue cooking until shrimp is done (it will be firm and pink). Sprinkle with lemon juice and salt to taste. Serve with bread or serve over hot pasta (such as angel hair). Sprinkle with Parmesan if desired.

Steps:
- 1. In a large skillet over medium high heat - melt butter into the olive oil. Season chicken with the salt and pepper. Once butter is melted and bubbly - add the chicken and saute for about 15 minutes or until cooked through ( turning occasionally.) Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- 2. Now, add the garlic and onions to the pan. Cook for a few minutes.
- 3. Add the zucchini to the skillet, along with the chicken and add the basil and oregano. You can also add more salt and pepper if needed. Cook for another 10 - 15 minutes more. Now is when I start the pasta.
- 4. Remove chicken and zucchini and add the lemon juice and wine to the pan. ( the reason I removed the chicken and zucchini is so the zucchini wouldn't become to overcooked.) Scrape any bit and pieces if are any. Simmer for about 5 minutes and then add the cream. Stir until heated through..
- 5. Return the zucchini and chicken back to the pan. Drain linguine - I don't rinse. Add to the pan with the chicken and zucchini and toss all together. Making sure to coat pasta with the sauce.
- 6. Plate and sprinkle with fresh Asiago or Parmesan cheese. Can also garnish with fresh parsley.
- 7. Note: If you feel you may want more sauce, double the butter, lemon juice, wine and cream. The amount of sauce was perfect for us, but some may like more, especially if using all pasta with no zucchini.

Tips:
- Use fresh, juicy shrimp. Medium or large shrimp is ideal for this recipe. Avoid using frozen shrimp, as it can be tough and watery.
- Marinate the shrimp in olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. This helps to flavor the shrimp and prevent it from drying out.
- Cook the shrimp quickly over high heat. This helps to preserve the shrimp's delicate flavor and texture.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking.
- Use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is best for this recipe, as it has a rich, flavorful taste.
- Add a splash of white wine or lemon juice to the sauce. This helps to brighten the flavor of the sauce and balance out the richness of the butter.
- Serve the chicken scampi immediately. This dish is best enjoyed when it is hot and fresh.
